Pure Tone Audiometry is a non-invasive assessment procedure used to identify the hearing ability of an individual. It helps us to deduce the degree, type and configuration of a person’s hearing loss. The patient is asked to respond to the pure tone stimuli presented at different frequencies. Both Air conduction & bone conduction thresholds are detected by this test.
Immittance audiometry is an assessment to check for any pathology within the middle ear. It is an objective method for determining middle-ear function and status, detecting the presence of middle ear fluid or eardrum perforation, etc. It is a well grounded and swift procedure.
Otoacoustic emissions (OAEs) are sounds of cochlear origin, which can be recorded by a microphone fitted into the ear canal. They are caused by the motion of the cochlea's sensory hair cells as they energetically respond to auditory stimulation. Oto-acoustic emission test helps to assess the functioning of the hair cells in the cochlea. OAE test is a simple and non-invasive assessment tool for detecting hearing problems in new-born babies, children who are too young to cooperate, or in difficult-to-test populations.
Brain-stem Evoked Response Audiometry (BERA)Bera is an objective way of eliciting brain stem potentials in response to audiological click stimuli. These waves are recorded by electrodes placed over the scalp. It is an effective way to estimate the threshold and diagnosing auditory nerve lesions.
BERA test is an effective tool for assessing hearing thresholds of difficult to test populations like newborns, children, bedridden patients, mentally challenged patients, patients with behavioral problems etc.
A Hearing aid is a small electronic devicd worn in or behind the ear that helps to enchance natural sounds so that a person who suffers from hearing loss can hear with lesser struggle. On assessing and deducing the present circumstances of one's hearing, an audiologist would suggest the appropriate type of hearing aid based on the severity and the type of the hearing loss.
Hearing aids helps to magnify the comprehension of speech with in turn makes communication much effortless. Advanced digital hearing aids are programmed and fitted in accordance with the audiometric findingd of an individual, thereby achieving optimum patient satisfaction.
Tinnitus is nothing but a ringing sensation within the ear. Tinnitus is not intrinsically a disease, but a very common symptom, and since it involves the perception of hearing sound or sounds in one or both ears, it is commonly associated with the hearing system. In fact, various parts of the hearing system, including the inner ear, are often responsible for this symptom.
Tinnitus maskers are electronic hearing devices that emits broad-band or narrow band noise at low levels induced in order to mask the presence of tinnitus.
As in most cases, the tinnitus is usually associated with hearing loss, so the tinnitus maskers are now incorporated within the most advanced hearing aids, which in-turn satisfy your hearing needs as well as aids in masking tinnitus.
As the name suggests, these are devices worn in or over the ears to protect the ears from hazardous sounds for musicians who works in high intensity sound for greater duration, and for swimmers to enhance ear hygiene
